DIGITAL
RADIOGRAPHY (X-Rays)
How does Digital Radiography (X-Ray) works?
Your dentist places a small, flat sensor in your mouth.
The sensor is connected to a computer by a thin wire.
Next, an X-ray beam is sent through your teeth and
into the sensor, which records the image of your teeth
and sends it to the computer. The sensor can then
be repositioned to photograph other sections of your
teeth.
Why It's Good?
You're concerned about X-ray exposure, so are we.
With our advanced digital X-ray system, any necessary
images will be safer, better, faster, and smarter.
- Safer:
Digital radiography requires an unbelievable 92%
less radiation than conventional film technology.
Retakes are no longer necessary since we can enhance
the image automatically, resulting in fewer exposures
for you, our patient.
-
Better: Digital images can be enhanced to
show hidden areas of decay or other dental problems
which may otherwise go undetected with conventional
films. Earlier detection means more conservative
treatment.
-
Faster: Digital images are instantaneous!
A digital X-ray (radiography) system can shoot
a picture of your teeth, then almost immediately
show it to you on a computer monitor while you
are in the dental chair.You no longer have to
sit there for fifteen minutes and wait for X-ray
film to develop...and develop. No time is wasted
processing and mounting X-ray films. This way
our dental team spends less time developing X-rays
and more time with you, discussing your dental
needs.
-
Smarter: The on-screen picture will look like
an X-ray image but a lot bigger, 400 percent bigger!
With one mouse click, your dentist can zoom in
on a single tooth, rotate it, sharpen it and colorize
it - all to explain your treatment procedure.Want
to take home that stunning tooth image? Your dentist
can print out a color copy for you.
-
Environmental friendly: No harmful chemical
waste, or wasted money. The digital X-ray system
uses no smelly, dangerous chemicals. That's good
news for the environment!
-
Better Communication: The large and color-enhanced
images let you see what your dentist sees, so
it's easier for you to understand how your dentist
will treat your teeth. You fees don't include
payment for photographic chemicals, film, processing
or film storage. Used photo chemicals and film
are not dumped into the environment. Finally,
it's a blast to watch this system work! Most patients
are amazed.
The advantage is obvious to the patient but also to
the practice since there is no processing time and
the instant picture can be reversed, darkened, lightened,
colored, blown up, contrasted, etc. It is saved into
the computer and can be printed at any time later.
INTRA-ORAL
CAMERA
"A picture is worth a thousand
words."
If your dentist tells you that your old fillings are
definitely not doing the job. In fact many of them
have failed and are letting decay reach your teeth.
He thinks you should consider having them replaced.
You may find yourself wondering whether your teeth
are really as bad as he/she is saying. Maybe if you
could actually see those old fillings yourself, you'd
feel a lot better about having them fixed. Here's
where an intraoral camera is just the ticket.
An intra-oral camera is about the size of a pen, so
it fits easily into your mouth. Once positioned, it
sends pictures to a monitor, where your teeth and
gums appear in a full-color, usually as a very large
image. You can now see what we see with the use of
our intraoral camera.. This allows us to detect possible
problems which may have otherwise been overlooked,
allowing earlier detection and less costly treatment.
It is also a wonderful way to help our patients be
better informed and involved in their dental care.
